Is still popular and la featured principally In tailored dresses and ensemble units. The new silhouette type 1* distinguished by a flare which occurs usually at the lower sector of the skirt. This flare effect is achieved by means of tunics, inserted godets and plaits, and it Is seen in every genre of frock except the strictly tailored dress. The most advanced silhouette of the season has a molded or semi-molded bodice, continues Its narrow lines over the hips and flares moderately at the hemline. It Is decidedly shorter than last season and averages from thirteen to fifteen inches off the ground. No one type of waistline stands out definitely this fall. The line maj be high directoire, low, normal ot absent. There is a decided tendency Black VMvtt Overblouae Worn Over • White Satin Slip. , toward the marked waistline, NB4U • return to a normal perceptible line by next spring is generally predicted. The long sleeve is a definite and essential factor in afternoon dresses. The plain tight-fitting variety is the most frequent note, but there are numerous other divertissements which are also en regie. Prominent among these are the medieval gauntlet type, the bishop sleeve, the Elizabethan plaited ruffle that covers the hand, and the shaped sleeve. The cuff is often made in an opposing color or of a contrasted material. In general the long, slender effect Is invariably decreed In street and afternoon dresses for fall and winter. The typical fall neckline fs decidedly high. This effect Is achieved through high collars, which may be attached or separate, through the ecarf, and by means of the Jabot The directoire collar Is a frequent and popular note. A very effective innovation is the soft, high collar, which is turned down over a small, trim tie. The tunic is of paramount "importance this season. It is employed by practically every Paris designer and it plays a significant part in the Inauguration of the more Involved silhouette. The tunic may be an integral part of the dress or It may appear as a separate tunic-blouse. Tunics are straight, bias or slashed and they are most generally used for afternoon and street ensemble costume, where coat and tunic are of Identical length. Daytime dresses show a distinct tendency toward ribbed materials, socalled to distinguish them from flatsurfaced fabrics. Bengallne, ottoman and faille are the leading materials of this type. Crepe satin, kasha, reps, twill, fulgurante, silk velvets and artificial silk velvets are also important materials. For dresses which accompany the ensemble, brocaded and metallic fabrics are an important note. Colorful hues are gradually supers seding black and white, although the latter combination is still a most prominent factor for street and afternoon frocks. Among the new hues, the brown range, from rust to beige, is the most popular color note. Navy blue, bottle green and red are also prominent Tartan and Scotch plaids are seen in profusion, especially in sports clothes. Leopard, skunk, tiger, monkey fur, buttons, braid, sHk fringe, chenille embroidery, appliques of velvet, fur and suede, beat! and thread embroideries, buttons, tassels and fabric manipulation are the outstanding trimmings for the fall and winter day* time dress. Afternoon Coats. The coat silhouette is undergoing a gradual reconstruction, with the resuit that there are two general outlines offered for autumn--the perennial straight-line and the recent fuller effect. The coat flare begins at a higher line than the dress and Is slightly more pronounced. Godets and flounces are employed to achieve this distended effect, which usually occurs about the knees. The trend In winter coats Is toward the new and fuller silhouette, but both outlines are and ,will remain en regie, for fall and winter. A frequent, characteristic of the flaring type is a slightly fitted effect at the waistline. Many coats are double fronted, so that the upper part may fold back, while the under front of a different fabric, is held across the figure--the famous double coat effect which has attracted such wide attention this season. Wide gauntlet cuffs of fur are the most effective of an unusually varied collection of sleeves which appear on the new fall and winter coats. There are no decided dicta on coat sleeves, which may be nprrow, puffed, bishop or wide wing affairs that give a teagown appearance. Collars are often of the same material as the cuff and correspond In genre. For Instance, the gauntlet cuffs mentioned above are accompanied by a high collar of the same fur. Large, abundant directoire collars and simple, smaller affairs share the stage equally. Picha, choker and shawl effects lead. The materials of ensemble coats Invariably include the material of the dress. Sometimes this is the principal fabric and sometimes it is "utilized only as a prominent trimming. The ribbed silks, particularly ottoman and bengallne, soft napped cloths including kasha and velours de lalne, velvet, velveteen and Smyrne cloths are the leading fabrics for the street coat. Scotch and tartan plaid woolens are highly favored for sports coats. Many Shades in the Van for Coats Black, green and brown shades are In the van for coats, and the greatest of these Is brown. A full range of brown hues is seen In the new models, emphasizing russet-brown. Brick, scarlet, dull red and bottle green, the latter one of the season's outstanding shades. Is recommended for those to whom the brown range doea not appeal. Burundukl, or chipmuck, leopard. natural mnskrat, astrakhan, beaver, squirrel and the varied species of fox are the outstanding fur trimmings for fall and winter coats. These are employed principally for collars, cuffs and hemline borders. Large buttons, tassels, braids and self trimmings applied In such a manner as to give a contrasted effect are among other outstanding trimmings of the season. Straight lines feature Ae vast majority of ensemble coats, and there Is less of the flared effect than In any other part of the feminine ward-' robe. When the low flare does occur it is usually accompanied by a slightly fitted waistline. Sleeves and waistline follow the general tendencies of other coats. The sleeves are fairly-ample and frequently fur trimmed. Fine woolen suede-flnlsh materials, velvet kasha, velours de lalne, duvetyn and fur are the outstanding materials. The lining of the coat Is nearly always the Identical material of the principal fabric of the dress. Brown, d(jrk red and green are the leading shades. A characteristic ensemble touch Is the combination of a dark colored coat and a contrasting, brlght-hued dress. Materials are more sumptuous than in regular daytime dresses. In addition to the ribbed silks--ottoman, bengallne and faille--there are crepe silks, satins, plaited georgette, brocaded chiffon, printed and brocaded velvets, silver lame shot with color and moussellne de sole. Sometimes an entire tunic is developed in a pliable fur pelt. The bright tones of red, green, beige and gray are the most significant shades of a very diversified color range. Trimmings for Every Type of Dress Material Every kind of material has a trimming all Its own this year. There seems to be almost unbreakable rules for this. And here are some of them: Trim striped material with Itself laid at right angleis so that it the dress, Is lined up and down and collar, cuffs, pockets and vest have their lines running across. Trim flowered dresses with raffles. Rows of them if you like, only one'or two If you prefer, but enough to give the slightly bouffant effect Trim solid color dresses--cotton ones--with white bands or white A New Shade of Pansy The loveliest new evening frock for fall is made of pansy purple chiffon that shades from light to dark. The dress is sleeveless and Is trimmed with large circles made of narrow purple satin ribbon. These rosettes outline the skirt and graduated ones are placed on either side of the skirt from walat te bands edged with tiny ruffles or with bands of figured material. Trim linen ones with drawnwork or with plain tucked white. Trim georgette with lace, feathers or ribbon. Trim flannel with ribbon or silk binding in contrasting shades. Don't trim figured material at all-- Just add one little touch of draping or contrast and let it go at that The Larger Hat The attempt to bring about a retorn of the larger hat is decidedly noticeable and among the smartest models to exploit this new tendency are hats of dull black satin trimmed with flat, uncurled ostrich. Popular as Trimming Bandfuls of ostrich feathers decorate almost everything now. They are seen on parasols, lace frocks, wrist-bags, and even in the torn of "THE ROAST BEEF - ..jl!OF OLD ENGLANir Nothing Dima John BulTa Loyalty to National Dish. I can never understand people well oatfl I see them eating. "Tell me what you eat and I'll tell yon what you are." If you eat roasted meats and well-cooked vegetables, you are an Englishman; If you eat well-seasoned dishes, with a liberal use of sauces, you are French; If you don't eat, you are Spanish. I would take these Englishmen, so strong and high-colored, and I would put them In a Madrid boarding-house; at the end of two weeks they would be so weak that I could maul than without any difficulty, declares a writer In the Chicago Evening Post An English military authority once said; "Where the Spanish soldier would consider himself well-fed, the French soldier would . be on half rations, and the English soldier would starve to death." The English are prodigious eaters, but as they are not epicurean they are slim, strong and healthy, and not fat and heavy like the French. Lhave seen an advertisement of the Mtiller cooking-pans; this advertisement Is divided into seven parts, corresponding to the seven days of the week. Monday shows a rl&tter with an enormous piece of roast beef ; below appears the Same roast * little smaller; it Is Tuesday's fare. By Wednesday the roast has diminished In a mathematical proportion. Thursday roast beef, Friday roast beef. By Saturday the roast has assumed microscopic proportions. "But," you will say, "surely they eat something else In London besides roast beef." Yes; In addition to roast beef they eat more roast beef. These English divide the same portion of roast beef In two pieces so that foreigners may not say that here one eats only one thing. The variety of the roast beef consists in the vegetables; boiled potatoes and cabbage, all without salt. ... If one could at least have some variety In the cooking of the potatoes! But no; Monday's potatoes are like those of Sunday, Sunday's like those of Saturday, and so on unto eternity. Do you suppose that the English would camouflage a potato? Never! What would become of the proverbial English honesty? No, a potato must always look and taste exactly like a potato. England, ladles and gentlemen, is a serious country. In the slang of Paris, the English are called roast beef. "Vola un roast beef," the French say of an Englishman. The fact Is that by dint of eating roast beef through generations, the English of today look a good deal like enormous pieces of roast beef. They have the same color, the same health, the same sensitiveness as roa«t beef. An Englishman eating a piece of roa»t beef makes me think of a cannibal devouring a fellow man. Farmers Shippingv • Association Grows lid Creek Dramatist's Frog Chorus a Poor Second I have contributed so much animal lore to these pages that I am thinking of setting up as a naturalist. William Lyon Phelps writes In Scrlhner's Magazine. I suppose all animals are personalities to those who know and understand them. When I was a child In Hartford It was a pleasure to enter the beautiful garden of that hospitable gentleman, Pliny Jewell, There was a little lake, and In winter he distributed to the boys of the neighborhood fre£ skating tickets, which we highly appreciated. In summer evenings the old gentleman would sit in a chair onr the edge of this pond and ring a bell. At the mellow tones of this Instrument the frogs would come out of the lake and group themselves about Mr. Jewell, who offered them bits of food, Which they received courteously. I had never discriminated particularly among frogs; but to this man every one of those frogs was an Individual, and he bad named them all. The largest was called Laura Matilda, and was the owner's favorite. I have seen Laura draw near her master's rhair, take a bit of bread delicately from his fingers, eat it and then wipe her mouth daintily, like the Prloresse in Chaucer. Aristophanes' frog chorus could never perform like that. The Greek dramatist missed a trick.

Cooperative Marketing Is Gaining in Importance, Statistics Show. (Pnptrtd kgr the United 8tat*a Department of Agriculture.) As a marketing institution the fanners' live stock shipping association is gaining in importance, according to a recent statistical study made by the Cnlted States Department of Agriculture. It appears that the present tendency as regards this Institution Is toward the well-organized association, with a large enough membership and operating over a big area to provide a volume of business sufficient to insure the economies which come with large scale operations. Furthermore, with the larger units there appears to be a demand for managers with training and experience in the marketing of live stock. The results of the recent study by the Department of Agriculture have been released in a preliminary report prepared by R. H. Elsworth of the division of agricultural co-operation. The study Is based upon reports received from 1,547 associations located in the rural sections and 26 farmercontrolled sales agencies established In 20 of the larger terminal markets. Active Associations. One of the existing associations has been operating since 1883. About onehalf of the associations have been active for five years, over 10 per cent have {>een active for ten years, and nearly 3 per cent have been active for fifteen years. Ninety-four per cent of all/ the associations are in the 12 North Central states. The three states of Iowa, Minnesota and Illinois are credited with over one-half of all the live stock marketing organizations. The associations in the same three states contain 43 per cent of the total membership of all the associations. These three states with Ohio contain over 53 per cent of the total memoersnip. Average membership per association ranges from 444 in Ohio where most of the associations are organised on a county-wide basis to 90 In Nortb Dakota. The averages for several of the leading states are as follows: Indiana, 281; Michigan, 213; Illinois, 206; Wisconsin, 203; Minnesota, 169; Iowa, 138. The average membership for the United States as a whole Is given as 191 for 1823 compared with 140 In 1915. Shipping Association Business. it is estimated that the 1,547 associations in the producing sections marketed live stock to the value of $162,- 800,000 in 1923. Sixty-two per cent of the total business was handled by the shipping associations In 'Iowa, Minnesota, Illinois and Ohio. The amount credited to each state Is as follows: Iowa, $42,000,000; Minnesota, $28,- 000,000; Illinois, $16,000,000; Ohio, $15,000,000. During the ten years. 1914 to 1923, the average amount of business handled by the shipping associations increased from $79,000 to $108,000. The average amount of business per association In 1923 credited to the leading states Is as follows: Ohio, $231,000; Iowa, $127,000; Illinois, $110,000, and Mtnnesota, $94,000. There were Increases in the average amount of business per association for the two years ending with 1923 for most of the states. This Increase In Ohio amounted to 41 per cent; Missouri, 27 per cent; Minnesota, 13 per cent; Iowa, 7 per cent; Illinois, 7 per cent. In Wisconsin and South Dakota tlMpe was a decrease In the average amount of business per association for the two-year period. It appears that 40 per cent of all the associations are incorporated, that the incorporated associations have 54 per cent of the total membership, and transacted 57 per cent of the total business In 1923. But 17 per cent of the associations are organized with capital stock. However, this percentage has 25 per cent of the membership and handled 27 per cent of the 1923 business. Fifty-three per cent of the associations, with 55 per cent of the membership and doing 51 per cent 9f the business In 1923, paid patronage dividends. Only 8 per cent of all the shipping associations had contracts with their members in 1923., Co-Operative Selling, Co-operative selling agencies controlled by farmers have been operating in the terminal live stock markets Blnce 1917, when such marketing agencies were established by the Farmers' union at the Omaha and St. Joseph markets. The 25 agencies operating In 1923 handled nearly 10,000,000 head of live stock, which would fill about 150,000 stock cars. The animals were sold for $192,000,000. At different times during the calendar year there were returned to the shipper sums amounting to $820,000 as refunds on amounts paid as commission charges. In both the Kansas City and St Paul markets there were three sales agencies. In both Chicago and East St Louis there were two co-operative commission associations. SUDDEN RICHES LEAD VETERAN TO GLORY AND GRAVE Animal, Vegetable and Mineral Feed for Hens For high egg production a hen in her feed requires animal, vegetable and mineral elements. Of these, animal elements are the ones most often lacking In the diet and there Is no doubt that the egg yield In most flocks of the country could be Increased If greater attention were given to this part of the ration. Animal protein is obtained from flsh scraps, fish meal, infertile eggs (from Incubation), table scraps, fresh meat scraps, milk, albumen, whey, buttermilk, cottage cheese, blood meal, bone meal, green cut bone, beef scraps, meat meal and skim milk. Any of these are satisfactory, if they can be had at a reasonable price. Table scraps are all right for small flocks. If fed when fresh. During five seasons from November to February Inclusive, an average of 25 birds for each pen was fed practically the same quantities of grain, meal, grit and shells, but one lot received skim milk and the other beef scraps, the object being to compare, for winter production, the most common sources of animal protein. The birds given skim milk not only laid a greater number of eggs, but gained more weight than those which received beef scraps. According to the experiment beef scraps cost about nine times as much as skim milk, weight for weight, for egg production. DIFFERENT DISEASES OF UDDER CAUSE LOSS OF VALUABLE COWS Prevention and Treatment Discussed in Bulletin. (Pnputd by th« United StatM DtpwtnuBt of Agriculture.) The dairy farmer frequently suffers a loss of valuable cows because of udder troubles, and because of the Importance of these losses and the possibility of prevention and cure, the United States Department of Agriculture has issued Farmers' Bulletin 1422, Udder Diseases of Dairy Cows. This publication contains careful descriptions of the most prevalent diseases of this nature and simple methods of prevention and treatment. It Is the first bulletin of the kind ever issued by the department The bulletin, which begins with the statement that "A dairy cow Is no better tAan her udder," contains chapters on more than 20 common diseases and conditions whicli byre 4>een responsible for great economic losses to the Industry.

She does most tiny dancing figures as a means of recreation while resting between engagements. Pavlowa Is reported to be almost fabulously More Economical Gains Made by Feeding Tankage With s good stand of soy beans In the cornfield, Is tankage required for most economical gains on hogs? Last year the Iowa experiment station ran 14 shotes weighing around 143 pounds each for 35 days on corn in which there was a good stand of Mancha soy beans. A similar group was fed the same way except for the addition of tankage self-fed. When corn grain in the field was figured at 61 cents a bushel, soy beans In the corn at 75 cents per acre, and tankage at $65 a ton, it was found that the more economical gains were made by the tankage-fed pigs and the gains per bushel of corn were likewise greater. Soy beans In the cornfield were not enough to balance the ration of ear corn properly and economically; the addition of tankage increased the dally gains some 40 per cent and reduced the cost of 100 pounds of gain from $5.84 to $5.38. Skim milk, buttermilk or other good supplements would serve the same purpose as the tankage. Both groups had access to a mineral mixture consisting of salt 20 pounds, ground limestone 40 pounds, spent bone black 40 pounds and potassium iodide one-half ounce t» 100 pounds of mixture. hies caused by carelessness. There Is also a discussion of some of the vices developed by cows and calves and methods for preventing them. Copies of the bulletin may be obtained ns long as the supply lasts, by addressing the Department of Agriculture, Washington. Flint and Dent Corns Have About Same Value Flint corn seems to have about the same feeding value for hogging down purposes as the dent corns, according to the results of a test conducted at the South Dakota experiment station. Hogs were pastured on plots of Minnesota No. 13, Wisconsin White Dent and flint corn. Only very slight differences In the rate of gain on the various varieties were noted. In this case the dent varieties had an advantage because they produced large yields and would carry more hogs to the acre. However, the test Indicates that In sections where reliance must be placed on flint corn such varieties can be used for hoggins down. Cooperative Market The co-operative marketing movement on sound business methods is rapidly expanding over the country. In Minnesota tlie gradual reorganisation of some of the weaker co-operative associations and practically all of. the newer organizations Is being developed according to up-to-date sales departments for the farm surplus. ^ lAPMlACTSfe *Tls the well-fed, not the starved, live stock that brings the Income. • • • Alfalfa should be planted In soil that has been well firmed by several good harrowlngs.
